Community Kayak Paddle at Philippe Park (Limited Spots)
Join us for a relaxed community kayak paddle at beautiful Philippe Park from 9:00–11:00am.
This small-group paddle is ideal for anyone who enjoys being on the water and wants a calm, easygoing experience at their own pace. Participants will paddle independently within a designated area and return by 11:00am.
This is a casual community experience — not a guided tour or formal lesson — designed for paddlers who are comfortable being on the water and want a low-pressure way to enjoy kayaking while connecting with a local business.
